Male and Female Eggfly

'Kiasu' is a Chinese Dialect which means the fear of losing.

This word is so widely used by the Singaporeans that it has been incorporated into their English vocabulary called Singlish.

One example of a blogger with a kiasu attitude is Andrea.

Just because I posted on an Elusive White Butterfly 2 days ago, she posted a photo with a dozen white butterflies yesterday!!!

How 'kiasu' can she get?!

I must admit that although 'kiasu' has a negative connotation, it can lead us to strive forward and improve.

All the photos above are of a female eggfly.

This black butterfly with blue spots is a male Eggfly.

Together they may produce this spiky caterpillar.

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Can you see that this 'kiasu' syndrome may lead to a dozen butterflies soon?

I can imagine a dozen butterflies in one photo, just like Andrea's.

 Before I get these butterflies to multiply, someone may post on a dozen of healthy cabbages and I'll post of mine with a thousand holes, eaten up by the caterpillars.

Oh dear, I must not be carried away with this 'kiasu' syndrome.

Just one little dose a day will keep fun my way.

Anyone game to continue with this 'kiasu' attitude postings?

It's just some 'impromptu interactive blogging' fun!
I know some of you 'kiasus' out there have just begun to sow cosmos seeds.
Well done, 'kiasus'!

2 hours later...
Wait! I have something to add...
You got to check out the next 'kiasu' who is none other than Africanaussie.
She has just posted on some sexy looking butterflies.
She's the one who inspired me to track down the butterflies in the first place.

Elusive White Butterfly

After admiring 2 posts of butterflies on cosmos in Africanaussie, I decided that I must have some butterfly on cosmos images too.

Unlike my previous experiences with shooting butterflies, this white one would not stay still.

It seemed very fickle and couldn't decide on which flower to settle on.

Unlike the praying mantis which smiled at me from the cosmos flower, this white butterfly refused to even look at me.

Still, I must persist for some decent shots.

In Singapore, we call this attitude, a 'kiasu' syndrome.

'Kiasu' is derived from Hokkien dialect. (a Chinese dialect)

It means being afraid to lose out to others.

Being 'kiasu', I have persisted in chasing this elusive white butterfly.

Being 'kiasu' you should expect at least one more post of butterflies on cosmos.

After all, Africanaussie just had 2 posts.

By the way, I am not even a Singaporean but 'kiasu' syndrome isn't that bad since I've finally got some nice butterfly images.

Do look out for more 'kiasu' images or should I say, Africanaussie inspired images?

It's First of the Month at Murrieta 365.

Do you know that this 'kiasu' syndrome is contagious?
Andrea has caught the bug.
She is not posting just one white butterfly, but also a black one and in fact, a whole swarm of them.
Do check them out!
